Just picked it up. Peak lapel, flap pockets, dual vent, grosgrain lapels and piping on pants. Excuse the neck as my bow tie from Hanuer is still in the mail. I chose the faille for the bow tie to match the grosgrain.

Sleeve length looks ok to me, but the trousers are a bit long judging from the material at the bottom of the legs. I also wonder why the trouser creases appear to move outward as they approach the hem.

Suddenly, with a strained sound, Daisy bent her head into the shirts and began to cry stormily. "They're such beautiful shirts," she sobbed, her voice muffled in the thick folds. "It makes me sad because I've never seen such, such beautiful shirts before."

+1 Fit is good, but the trousers might need an inch or so off the bottom.

Elaborate on the back problems please.
The horizontal creases in the middle of the upper back, which are probably caused by tightness across the upper back, and the horizontal creases all across the waist, which are probably caused by either a long back balance or tightness around the hips (or both). If you're standing more erect for the picture than you normally would then it could be exaggerating the latter. There's also the vertical creases at either side coming from the scyes, which are pretty common and probably to be expected if the suit is only made to measure, but ideally shouldn't be there either.

I don't really like the flap pockets, they look a bit too casual on a proper dinner jacket(peaked lapels, one button), makes it look a bit like a lounge suit, but you could always wear the flaps tucked in.
It's the only thing I dislike tho, nice tux.

As far as the flaps I chose the flaps as they can easily be tucked in. My posture isn't the best and my shoulder blades on my upper back do not help the situation as they protrude. Cost was 1k. Overall I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out.

This shouldn't matter as long as you stood naturally during measurement/fittings. Any posture problems should be taken into account when making the suit, but obviously if you stand differently to take the photos than you did for the measurement/fitting then all bets are off...

I agree with all of the above however these issues seem relatively easy to address. The trouser length may be a smidge too long but overall I think that's quite a nice tux....
